Requires most aircraft to install new safety tech, improving how pilots see other planes.
This bill would require most aircraft to install new safety technology called ADS-B In by 2031. This includes many private planes and commercial jets. This tech helps pilots see other aircraft and potential traffic issues more clearly. It also makes rules stricter for military and government planes that currently don't have to broadcast their location.
Today, many aircraft broadcast their location (ADS-B Out), but pilots don't always have a system in their cockpit to receive and display this information from other planes. Also, some government and military flights can turn off their broadcasts for broadly defined "sensitive missions" with less oversight. After this bill, most aircraft would be required to have "ADS-B In" to see other planes, and government/military flights would have much stricter rules and reporting for turning off their location broadcasts, aiming to improve overall air safety.
